Fitness mad grandma cycles 960 miles for Samaritans

A fitness mad grandmother-of-two is cycling more than 960 miles to raise money for the Samaritans.

Wyn Clayton, 67, of Aikrigg Avenue, Kendal, is hoping to raise £2,000 by riding from Land’s End to John O’ Groats.

Her journey, expected to last four weeks, begins on Friday, April 25 and she is hoping her ‘can do attitude’ will get her over the line.

Wyn, who trains around Windermere and Ullswater, said: “I’m a Samaritan, it’s a really worthwhile charity because there’s so many people who have mental health problems or are lonely and Samaritans are always there 24 hours a day. I genuinely believe they save lives.”
